In fact, Ye always blamed Donnie Yen wrongly. What the media published was a distorted version of the pick. Donnie Yen's original words were that the reason why "Ip Man" is so popular is because "Ip Man" has a very good characterization. A new good otaku who loves his wife and knows kung fu. Women love him, men envy him, and it doesn't matter what kind of punches you fight with him. With such a good story and script, any punch can be popular. His speech was also building momentum for "Ip Man", and he didn't expect to be distorted arbitrarily. In fact, there is no need for Ye Lao to compete with this. After all, movies are works of art, and it is impossible for any work to fully restore history. Otherwise, it would not be a movie but a documentary. No matter what is played in the movie, it is for Wing Chun to build a biography for Ye Wenshu's monument and carry it forward. It is better not to focus on the process and focus on the results. However, according to work experience, it is difficult for this kind of work to be promoted for the industry not to be interfered with. People in the industry will usually put forward a lot of opinions that have nothing to do with the work or even very absurd opinions after reading the work. "closer to reality". Facts have proved that often those works with too much interference by laymen do not achieve the results they want. Again, professional things are more appropriate for professional people to do.
"Ip Man Prequel" actually wants to prove one thing, Ip Man is not because of you Donnie Yen, but because of the charm of Wing Chun and Ip Man. This starting point is wrong in the first place. If Wing Chun really has such a big influence, it doesn't have to wait until today to become known to people. Besides, there are still several sects waiting to line up. Judging from the results of watching the movie, it's the exact opposite. At least from this movie, Ip Wen, who lacks Donnie Yen, is really not that good.
From the perspective of pedigree, "Ip Man Prequel" is simply a work of Wing Chun that can no longer be Wing Chun. The producer and creator Xian Guolin, is a direct disciple of Ye Zhun, and the vice chairman of the World Wing Chun Federation. Ask the investors of the first two films. The male protagonist, Du Yuhang, is Xian Guolin's beloved disciple and Ye Zhun's disciple. Mr. Ye Zhun also played a role in the film at the age of 80. Three generations of descendants gathered together to tell the story of Master Wing Chun, what a harmonious scene. As far as the performance in the film is concerned, we really have to sigh about the charm of Wing Chun. The two most exciting scenes in the film are the blind fist fight between Sammo Hung and Yuan Biao, who play the heirs of Wing Chun, with a cloth covering their eyes. It was the scene where Mr. Ye Zhun and Du Yuhang who played Ye Wen competed in boxing skills, which showed the exquisiteness of boxing skills and the superb kung fu of the performers. It is a pity that after the two scenes ended, the whole film no longer had any commendable highlights, and it was difficult to get rid of the suspicion of plagiarism. Several important scenes were quite similar to Jet Li's "Fighting Hero". Similar, even the male protagonist's attire and temperament are more like Chen Zhen than Ye Wen. If it is true as Ye Lao said, "The Prequel" shows the true story of Master Ye Wen, then it can only be said that Chen Zhen has lived his life. Much like Master Ye. It would be unfair to say that it was a failure, but if it is to be scored, I think it can only be given a pass, or it is because of Mr. Ye Zhun's personal support. As for what Xian Guolin said about preparing to film the post-biography of Ip Man and telling the story of the old Ip Man, if it is still in this state, I am afraid that Mr. Xian will lose some money, at least for the audience like me, the next time is definitely not just for the sake of Wing Chun two words and then pay for it.
When it comes to the "Ip Man" dispute, in the final analysis it is the inferiority of the Chinese people. On this point, I still admire Donnie Yen very much. His contribution to Wing Chun is actually far greater than those who jumped out and shouted. It is precisely because of Donnie Yen's excellent performance that Wing Chun fever has been set off, including the World Wing Chun Federation. It was also formed after this, and it allowed a group of so-called heirs to organize. Everyone didn't remember being grateful, but just because of a distorted report, they all stood up and exposed Donnie Yen's so-called old bottom. For example, Donnie Yen only learned Wing Chun. I waited for 24 hours, but I forgot to think about it with my head. Wing Chun hit the world in less than a day. Are you complimenting him or self-deprecating?
And Donnie Yen himself, without arguing, has long ceased to be involved in this circle of right and wrong, and continues to be his idol.
